1. Re: Is there a limit to how big the video file can be, storage size or pixel size, when inserting in a powerpoint?
Do you notice a quality difference when playing the two videos in Presenter? I'm not a fan of HD video in Presenter, mainly because of the reduced screen real estate that is available for video. I find that around 720 X 480 usually works just fine, and keeps the file bloat down (as you have seen just in your change you lost 100 MB). I don't believe there is a limitation on what you can place in Presenter, but it may be a matter of what can be delivered effectively. There may also be something odd in the encoding of the 1080 version of your video. If you re-encode it at the same resolution, with the settings of the lesser resolution video, does it play back as expected?

2. Re: Is there a limit to how big the video file can be, storage size or pixel size, when inserting in a powerpoint?
The only quality difference that I can tell is that the downsized one will play and the full sized one will not.
I have continued testing and using a file that was 960 x 720 @ 132MB it also failed, the same file down converted to 960 x 606 @ 73MB worked. So I am thinking that for some reason my program is not properly handling files of a certain size or bigger.
